Get Ready !!

[Cain]

I'll pop up a Demo server as soon as I can get my hands on the files !!

Deathmatch

Look at empty and full servers

[Kronos[X]]

Will that be a DM or VCTF server?

[Cain]

Beats me, maybe one of each .........

The time had finally come to play vehicle CTF and we did it in a huge fashion with the level named Suspense. The map is huge with two bases linked by a massive suspension bridge with a river down below the bridge (that's where the Redeemer is). The human-based vehicles were being used for both sides; the smaller but fast wheeled vehicles like the Scorpion, the much larger tank ground vehicles, the fast hovercraft the Manta, and the larger air vehicle the Raptor.

The only demo map I'm really looking foward to playing is VCTF-Suspense just to see how the Axon vehicles have changed from UT2K4.

What gameplay mode will be the best ???

I know very little about this game, at present.

Inviting trouble already I see. :twisted: Different answers from different folks. I'm disappointed the Necris vehicles aren't yet in the Beta, and am with Kurlon about wanting to see the changes to the Axon vehicles (they better not have nerfed my Goliath...). Many others will like pure DM.

Personal opinion is if you have to choose one, take VCTF. There will be opportunity for ground fights, and it'll also have vehicles, so it provides a compromise between hardcore DM/CTF guys and hardcore ONS guys ("Flags? What's a flag?").

Here are the Demo Maps:

VCTF-Suspense
DM-ShangriLa
DM-HeatRay

ShangriLa is the standard DM map, HeatRay is DM but includes a Darkwalker spawn, VCTF has all the Axon vehicles (except Cicada and Levi), hoverboards and CTF objectives.

IMO VCTF-Suspense will give players the most new things to try out in the demo and provide the biggest map size to test out the server resources.

What gameplay mode will be the best ???

As far as the best gamemode I think it will be Warfare hands down given how popular ONS was for UT2K4.

I know very little about this game, at present.

You will get a good idea of what UT3 is all about from these hands-on previews:

Will we have Warfare in the BETA ??

[KurlonT]

Will we have Warfare in the BETA ??

Nope.

[Slaughter]

Unfortunately no Warfare. However, an Epic employee posted on their forums that vCTF should give a good indication as to CPU resources needed for running WAR on a server.

[johnnie]

whichever mod you put up.... its only for a couple of weeks till the full release, so doesnt really matter, imo :wink:

[juneau]

OMG! The performance is absolutely amazing! It runs better than 2142! :D

[drunken_chef]

OMG! The performance is absolutely amazing! It runs better than 2142! :D

that suprises you? :roll:

[juneau]

OMG! The performance is absolutely amazing! It runs better than 2142! :D

that suprises you? :roll:

Kinda. :D

But for how good it looks i didn't expect to be able to play it at max settings. A bit like Crysis.

[Grisu]

Is there a free download link available?

I don't use filesharing tools.

[Premonition]

it runs worse than bf 2142 for me. Im looking for the lower settings options already. But i cant complain atleast it runs on my system.

[dirtyoldgoat]

Runs amazingly smooth on my PC and it's a little dated. Much better than BF2142 here as well...

[CarbonFire]

UGH. UGH.

Stop taunting me....I've got 5 more hours of work. Or DO I?
:tempted:


Any word on server population limits? Are we gonna get some huge CTF battles going? I'm dying here :twisted:

[Apache Warrior]

I have it installed and so does my son.
Will be on tonight.

[MajorDeath]

You guys are going to love this game!! Not to mention how nice it runs on full settings. I'll post a ss with my frame rate in a few.

[Cain]

Gimme a couple more hrs,,,,,


I'm working on a server now.

[BlackArrow]

if someone host a match in the meantime we can all start blasting away.

The option is easy to set up. :2thumbs:

[Slaughter]

Sad, but at this point no one (server ops) running Win2k3 server has even been able to get it to install from what I've seen on the Beta Feedback Forum.

Unfortunately there aren't just dedicated server files to upload.

[{CLR}geneSW]

Gimme a couple more hrs,,,,,


I'm working on a server now.
ZOMG I can't wait! Downloading now and preparing to get in as soon as it's up! That is if dinner doesn't take too long. Wife wants to go out for dinner tonight. argh!

[{CLR} Naillik]

UT3?!?!?!
Screw WoW, let the rampage commence! :D

[Grisu]

Are better looking textures in the final release version? :?

No AA?

[Rand{CLR}]

Are better looking textures in the final release version? :?

No AA?

:? I think the game looks fan-fricken-tastic.

-Rand

[{CLR} Naillik]

ugh... It was 89% done then my phone rang....
Internet went dead for a few mins and DL was cancelled =(

[Slaughter]

There will be higher-rez textures in the full game.

Forced AA works fine. Same issue as Bioshock, deferred rendering. May not support native AA at all.

[T5K Dozinator]

There is more info coming out each day.

I know the Server admins are about wiped out over this Server 2003 stuff.

The retail from what I heard will have way better graphics.
This is Beta version and is to help Epic.

I think they are little busy right now. :shock:

[Grisu]

There will be higher-rez textures in the full game.

Thanks!

I'm not a console gamer at all, so gimme the true quality a pc game deserves... :D

AMD Athalon 64 Processor

Barely playable. Everything was so extremely blurry. In darker areas, you cant see too far, but EVERYTHING looks like you are looking through a plastic bag or something. If you have specs like mine, I would say dont bother with the demo, though the dl speeds were quick. Didnt waste too much time.

[Murphy420]

I got the demo and will install it a little later. I will see you guys on the battlefield a little later.

[Dead_And_Gone]

Fileplanet doesn't want me to download it without pre-buying the game.

Is there a free download area?

PS. I have a logon but am not a paid subscriber.
